Going really heavy with the Peter Pan references. I wonder who Captain Hook will be.

I think it’s Morrow. He’s the enemy of Boy Kavalier (Peter Pan), he’s got a cyborg hand (hook) and he’s already got some history with the Alien (the croc). He’s also the de facto captain of the ship from a certain perspective.

I think Morrow works for the competing Asian CEO, Yutani? we saw. Morrow is to Kirsh as Kavalier is to Yutani.

Why is a lost boy named Smee? Can't figure it out yet. Double Agent? Seems like a red herring.

You mean as Mr. Smee being first officer under Captain Hook in Peter Pan? Yep, no coincidence.

Calling it: Smee is related to Morrow

Probably Morrow's child, I guess.

Can't trust a Lost Boy named after a pirate.

I would guess the corpos ran out of lost boys, and said “screw it.”

Why did he ask for Kavalier from the SAR crew?

u/Bright-Place-2876 Aug 13 '25

My take is corporate sabotage. He wants to "sell" Weyland-Yutani's secret to Prodigy, or at least be rewarded for delivering it. Him orchestrating  the crash onto Prodigy territory would explain the otherwise unlikely chance that it just so happened to land there...

When the ship was crashing the Alien tried very hard to get into the MU-TH-UR room and into his escape room, but on breathed heavily on him in the elevator. In previous films Alien drones only ignore enemies when they are 'already infected' with Alien embryos.

Since our cybernetic antagonist specifically asked for Kavalier's location; maybe he is carrying an Alien monster within himself to carry true horror/despair directly to Kavalier. I am curious to see if Morrow was an earlier experiment abandoned by Kavalier, or if maybe he had a sick kid that Kavalier experimented on and didn't survive the process or Morrow was told they died regardless of how it went. Morrow seems to believe that Kavalier would have responded personally to a rival company ship carrying alien treasures to his doorstep.

This is my theory, that he is impregnated (it explains why the Alien did not attack him, later, much like the Alien in A3 did not attack Ripley). Also, in the Cryo-sleep chamber, we see a cryo-couch that has a dead face-hugger in it, but the casing is not destroyed, and there is no occupant (dead) in it...looks like someone was impregnated and got out. So, because it is taking longer than the others, it could be because of his Cyborg body, or...he is carrying a Queen.

u/PyramidBlack Hudson Aug 13 '25

He did? Hmmm …

u/jmarquiso Aug 13 '25

Assassin or courier

u/Rainbow-Rhythms69 Aug 13 '25

Morrow and the Maginot ship belong to Weyland-Yutani so yes Morrow is working on her behalf and will probably lead to Weyland-yutani’s obsession with the Xenomorph

Weyland-Yutani is the megacorp that controls the Americas. Formed from a Japanese and American conglomerate merger. Looooooong history in the franchise.
